Cyclists are a pack of arrogant tossers

Very few motorists are cyclists.

Almost all cyclists are motorists.

I wonder which group has a better perspective?

longknives- you’re more intelligent than that, aren’t ya?

Big time generalisation….

When you think about it… there’s not really that much interaction necessary between cyclists and non-cyclist road users.

Isn’t it all fairly straightforward? I mean… you don’t find it difficult to share the road with cyclists, do ya? How hard can it be?

I’ve seen cyclists get badly cut up by moronic motorists too… it works both ways. There’s a footpath used by cycle commuters in Wellington along Kaiwharawhara and I’ve seen plenty of idiots pull out in front of or across cyclists going into and out of drives. Some of the cyclists are doing 40-50km/h. These people need to use their eyes 100% of the time and look and check properly.

Yeah some cyclists run red lights. I’ve done that before. I don’t cycle but I’ve done that. If they’re not slowing anyone else down, does it really make any difference?

If you’re doing 1km or more over the speed limit… you’re breaking the law. That’s illegal. But no-one’s doing that, are they? When everyone is a squeaky clean little angel that never breaks any kind of a law or rule anywhere in life…. they can preach from on high. And if someone has never broken a rule in life… .well you can just fuck off ya goody good noddy… hahahaha

Fuck of and get out of my way. I paid the TAX, you didn’t, fuck off.

How much tax have you paid, steve? My personal and company tax contributions to NZ look more like an Irmasat phone number than anything else.

I feel well within my rights to use the road, reducing commuter congestion each day, staying fit and healthy. And 99.9% of motorists are happy to share the road with me, for which I’m grateful.

Your angry, selfish rant suggests we’d all be better off if you worked your concerns out with 10,000 tonnes of train at a level crossing.

The only dangerous thing cyclists do is parallel ride with each other.

Azeraph-

Yeah… especially if they keep a big bubble around each other and the left side of the road and then if it’s a narrow piece of road or bendy you get stuck behind the pricks… and they show zero consideration for anyone else and keep people stuck behind them….

But then you’ll get others that show courtesy and are mindful of not wanting to hold up traffic and leave a good amount of space to get past them.

Big groups of them…. 5-10 or more… yeah… just depends on their attitude. The law says they can ride side by side… two abreast I think is the actual words off the top of my head. Not sure ti says anything about a gap they need to stick to.

If a redtaper did try to add a compulsory distance to maintain when riding two abreast then I’m sure that would get up some noses here about more nonsense nanny state measures for something that’s ‘commonsense’

krazykiwi… to be fair- you don’t really know what the fuck anyone typing is actually feeling.

I feel happy. Sad. Angry. Melancholy. Aha.

And who paid what tax… that’s just a pissing contest mate… did you win it? Great!!

I reckon the people that cycle to work are amazing. Especially winter in Wellington… fuck that. Or just: especially in Wellington, fuck that.

It’s beautiful… they combine the need to get to work with daily exercise…. perfect….

I don’t know how they do it… because after work… that’s the last thing you’d want to do, isn’t it? 10-20-30kms on the bike to get home?

I asked such a group how they handled the issue of showers and change of clothes too. Would take a bit of extra organising. Good for them!!

I heard of one hardcase who came in from Pram to town every day on the pushbike… holy smoke…

Truck driver playing chicken story.

I’ve driven a fair few trucks.

A lot of truck drivers are total FUCKWITS!! With the ugliest moronic mentality…. arrogant nasty ignorant cunts.

You won’t find many of them debating politics or current issues let me tell ya… thick fucktards a lot of them and look at what they’re cruising around in. Big arse heavy vehicles. Yeah.

I was a total moron when I drove buses in my early twenties. Think and hope I’m a bit smarter now.

Yep… that’s where a lot of losers end up. Driving a truck. Like I was and might find myself doing more of fuck it.

Harly riders make trucks and road lice look like kindy kids
Arrogant idiots who honestly believe they own the road.
They run in packs and attempt to intimidate the road users around them
Griff has taken one out for blocking a state Highway.
Got chased by ten for running the scum over
Silly scooter trash failed to realize one large fwd beats a score of harlys as a weapon any day.
Long may scooter trash continue to prove Darwin right
